WHO AM I?
...and why do I care?
I'm Will Frantz and I want to help you hit your running goals. For years, I felt like I was spinning my wheels.
I'd train hard and see some progress, only to get injured and feel like I had to start all over again.
Thankfully, I found a better way.
I stopped following the standard advice I was finding on the internet and started diving deeper into a wide variety of training methods - and it's worked well to help me and the athletes I coach to perform better.
As runners, we often get obsessed with nothing but training.
While training is obviously important - it's not the only thing that matters.
If we really want to perform well, we need to fuel well - which more often than not requires a solid plan.
I used to spend hours in the mountains with little more than a bottle of water and then I'd wonder why I was struggling so much with problems of bonking, nausea, and recovery.
Turns out my fueling strategy was terrible and I know I'm not alone.
That's why I wrote this guide.
In this guide, you'll learn why fueling matters, how much you need, what you need, and ways to figure it out before you get to the start line.
Check it out and see what you think.
Good luck and have fun training!
